But not the right stuff.

If at any point in the last twenty years Barack Obama had shown any courage of the convictions he so eloquently proclaimed, I would say that he would be unbeatable.

But he has displayed none of that courage. He has displayed none of that conviction. He has displayed nothing but empty platitudes and worthless rhetoric.

He has had for twenty years a spiritual advisor whose fundamental view of the universe and of this nation he now declares is wrong. The truth is he either agreed with Reverend Wright or he didn't care enough about how wrong he was to do anything about it.

It's sad really. I never would have voted for him because his policy ideas are just too awful, but it would have been nice if he had been the real deal.

He could have made a difference. But in the end he is no different.
